Current Donations are all your donations that have, at that moment, completely cleared both shoppers’ and retailers’ hands. To explain further:

When a shopper earns cash back, retailers will hold that cash back to be certain that the shopper will not exchange or return any merchandise they earned cash back on. This is called a locking period. Locking periods can last around 30 to 60 days—or longer or shorter!—depending on the retailer.

Your Current Donations are cash back donations that have been unlocked, and are cleared to go! Comparatively, Pending Donations are cash back donations shoppers have allocated to you, but that are still being held under retailers’ locking periods.
